Donald Trump admitted to The New York Times on Saturday that retweeting an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz was a mistake and that he would not do it again if given the opportunity.
"Yeah, it was a mistake," he told columnist Maureen Dowd. "If I had to do it again, I wouldn't have sent it."
Dowd was asking about an incident last month in which Trump retweeted a picture of Cruz, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's wife, during a spat involving a nude photo of Trump's wife, Melania, that was circulated by an anti-Trump super PAC.

Sad, but that pretty well says it all.
Then you agree with Trump, so what's the problem?
Nothing happened in Iowa, Utah,
and the NE story was nothing, or else we would know more by now.
Trump is not a good loser, so it seems.
He actually said the media covered his opponents more than him, when he has had free media coverage, over 50% more than the remaining candidates.
The public is tired of him, the media is not getting the same rating now when Trump yells “fire” or “wall” or “sue”.
The media and the general public is saying “bye-bye”.
“Will Ashley Cruz apologize to FReepers for allowing the
vote on SECRET ObamaTRADE?”
You are equating a policy decision with an attack on a candidates wife?
Simply unbelievable.
1) I didn’t tweet that insulting picture out and laugh about it
2) I am not running for president of the U.S.
Yes, but ....
No “ugly” picture of a woman can be tweeted (or whatever; I don’t twitter) unless it was there in the first place because the woman is ugly; is that not right?
I have eyes.
Why should he? It's not his money.
Claiming he should apologize for A PAC's commercial is like claiming he should apologize for a FreeRepublic post.
“Cruz: a candidate bears responsibility for the culture of a campaign”
But that only applies when it’s related to his opponents campaigns! He’s not bound by such ethical strictures! Lyin’ Ted has a zipper problem! He evidently goes through life with an open fly!
Why is this considered an apology? Did he call Heidi Cruz?

What do you suggest Donald Trump say to Heidi?
“Sorry, I shouldn’t have re-tweeted that awful picture of you next to my beautiful wife. I know we all have bad hair days.”
I had a couple of others, but Mrs. Submareener made me delete them. She said they weren’t “Presidential”. ;-)
Sad thing they are enjoying it allll the way.
Look, Melania is a supermodel, a 10, and she has the money and time to maintain herself. She seems very nice and active in her various charities.
The average woman is between a 5 and an 8. It’s not fair to compare anyone to a 10. Heidi is attractive enough, it’s her politics that are abhorrent.
It’s a no win going after women’s looks, no matter who they are.
LOL
Everyone takes bad pics, even Melania. We just don’t see them!
The first mistake made was that Cruz did not disavow that ad against trumps wife. The second mistake was Trump retweeting Heidi picture. Trump admitted his mistake, I haven’t heard Cruz say anything about what his super pac did. And he can say something about it anytime now.
Trump said he made a mistake. Is he supposed to grovel on the floor now on bended knee as if he were Muslim praying to Allah?
Bullshit. Cruz can make it clear that this is not the way he wants to run his campaign. That doesn’t mean he can tell them what to do, but he can sure make it public that he’s very unhappy with the way they are presenting him to the public. His choice.
I
And he seems to have made it. Which makes him even sleazier than I thought he was.
You win the most idiotic post of the day ...and that’s hard to do given some of the other Cruz supporters comments
#71 how about: Dear Hiedi,
Sorry about the thoughtless tweet. I left my
Brain in the bathroom that night.
You are a beauty. I had to import my bride. 4 returns before i could get one that didn’t laugh at my orange cat that sleeps on my head. Oh and the prenup to get her to stick around...it’s YUGE!
Any way sorry, don’t be jealous of me, there, s more reconstruction of my face then was done at ground zero.
Always,
Lil Donnie
PS I’d love to hear your opinion on my orange eye brows. Too much?
